I recently brought my long-haired Siamese cat, Monroe, to Tammy's Tender Touch for her first grooming experience, and I couldn't be happier! Monroe had some large mats on her lower back that were causing hotspots, so I gave her a little acepromazine beforehand. She handled it so well, thanks in part to the calm and quiet environment at Tammy's Tender Touch. I was pleasantly surprised at how peaceful the space was, even though they were fully booked. All the animals were calm in their cages, which was perfect for Monroe, who had never left the house before. This is a huge contrast to another groomer I visited in Mesa, where loose dogs created complete chaos. Tammy's Tender Touch is conveniently located right down the street from me, making it easy to drop off my cat for a quick grooming session. Monroe got a lion cut, and today I brought in her brother Frank. There are four siblings in total, and they'll all be getting the same treatment. After bringing Monroe home, I could tell she felt so much better--she was rolling around on the pavement and seemed in great spirits, with a noticeable mood boost after getting rid of all that extra hair. Plus, I'm relieved to have less cat hair to vacuum every day! The prices here are extremely fair, and I'm so thankful to have Tammy's Tender Touch in my community. They've been around for a long time, and I feel blessed to support their business. I highly recommend them, and don't forget to tip!

We love Tami's! Our dog Zara usually dreads grooming, but this is the one place she actually walks in with her tail wagging--at least until she remembers what's about to happen, haha. Still, she always ends up having a great time, and when we pick her up, that tail is wagging just as much as when she went in. The groomers consistently do a fantastic job and really listen to what we want for her. They're also so friendly and always recognize Zara the moment we walk in, which is such a sweet touch. We'll definitely keep coming back!

I'm extremely disappointed with the service at Tami's Tender Touch. When I came to pick up my dog, I was told by Myra that my dog had a small nick under her arm and that they put powder so it doesn't get infected. After I paid, she brought my dog out and as I inspected her more closely, I discovered that it was actually a large, severely cut chunk of skin with no powder on it. This was not a minor injury as she claimed, but a serious wound! She said it happens all the time and that I shouldn't worry. I've had dogs for the last 35 years and never had my dogs get nicks or cuts from grooming. To make matters worse, when I put my dog down on the floor to put her leash on, I noticed blood prints on my clothes and the floor (and later, after I left, all over my car seat and then all over her dog bed). They also had cut her paw, and didn't mention it to me. I was incredibly distressed with the lack of care. She offered me a full refund and said that she was trying to be honest about my dogs condition. But she downplayed it, big time! I told her that I would compromise with them and give some of the money back to them because they did provide service, even though, they injured my dog. I would've appreciated the honestly more if she didn't downplay the issue as a small nick from the clippers. I started coming here because it was affordable at $52 and recommended by my vet but I should've known that I get what I paid for. I will not be returning and would strongly advise others to think twice before bringing your pet here. See photos of my pet and let me know if you think I'm overreacting.

This is the hair cut from Tami's Gentle Touch on Xochi.

Xochi is my cat. He's been going to tami's since he was a little guy. He's 11 years old now. We took him to get his usual spa day. He always came home strudding. But this time, he came home scared and hiding. Took place on May 23, 2024. On top of all this he has a couple of nicks on the back of his head/neck area. So I called Tami's tender touch. Come to find out "Tami's " is retired. This was the worst. The lady I was talking to was very confrontational and then she said he came in like that. OMG. I lost it. She didn't care about Xochi. Tami I would advise you to make these new owners change the name of Tami's Gentle Touch to protect you. Because it's not anymore. Now the search is on for a new groomer for Xochi.

First off, I want to say that I really appreciated the fact that they were open during the Pandemic as many other businesses are not. My regular groomer is no longer available and my 2nd choice is not open so when I saw that Tami's was I booked an appointment for my little old Bichon Frise. She had never been groomed there before, only a teeth cleaning, which resulted in my dog "biting her own lip" and was bleeding when I picked her up. I chalked that up to a dog being a dog and not liking her mouth being poked and prodded so that was water under the bridge. But maybe not so much after seeing how my dog turned out after a very standard grooming. My instructions were simple: 1) Shes VERY OLD, going on 17, and fragile, so please, first in and first out. (I dropped her off right at 8 am) 2) She doesn't need a bichon hair cut, a simple trim, bath, blow out, nail trim and expression is what she needed 3) I did say that the groomer should use their best judgement in terms of the length 4) I live right around the corner so call me as soon as shes ready and Ill come and get her Well, approximately 3 1/2 hours later I'm wondering whats going on? And finally, I get a call at noon that shes ready. I picked her up and she is completely shaven. I'm thinking to myself, okay, its hot and shes probably happier so no big deal. Then Tami proceeds to tell me that she wouldn't sit still on the table so they didn't blow dry her. That's not good, she has very tight corkscrew hair that needs to be brushed out so she doesn't get matted. Its actually the most important part of the grooming in order to avoid matting.I paid the 45 dollars and went home thinking that this groomer isn't a good fit so Ill just bathe her myself until my groomer opens back up. When I got home, and upon closer inspection, I was shocked! Her right ear had 2 mats-one underneath and one in front-clearly visible. Her haircut is totally uneven-there are pieces of long fir and shorter areas all over her body. Its as if a child got a hold of clippers and randomly ran them across her body. Her legs were NOT brushed out so shes already getting matted (1 week later). She did not look good at all! I read another review from an unsatisfied customer who said that Tami was defensive and hung up on them when they called to complain so I'm not going to call, I don't need the stress, I just need a professional groomer who wont send my dog back looking like a mess. I wont be going back.

Look at her ears. This was taken one week after her dog grooming appointment. This was the second time we took her here and first was same.

I came here twice a year ago. We never went back because both times, our dog's ears were left scraggly and with a lot of stray strands that were not shaved in alignment with the rest of it. Their work is subpar and it is obvious that they have a lot of new people working there. This wouldn't be an issue if someone in charge looked over their work and perfected it, but they gave our dog back to us with so much stray fur. It was pretty bad. I would not recommend this place.

The staff was nice and welcoming, and the lobby was clean and well kept. I brought my dog in for a nail trim, which they handled quickly and professionally. The only hiccup was with the walk-in policy. Online, nail trims are listed as a walk-in service, so I stopped by assuming it would be straightforward. When I arrived, they explained that walk-ins are only allowed during certain hours on certain days. To their credit, they made an exception since they weren't busy at that moment, which I appreciated. That said, it was a little frustrating because that information isn't listed on Yelp or their website -- it's only posted on a sign inside the shop. I'd still come back because the service itself was good, the staff was kind, and the prices are fair. I'd just recommend calling ahead to confirm hours if you're planning to use a walk-in service. Suggestion for the owners: it would really help customers if the website and Yelp page clearly listed the walk-in hours so people know what to expect before they arrive. TL;DR: Affordable, clean, and friendly dog grooming spot with convenient parking. Just call ahead if you're planning to walk in for services like nail trims, since the walk-in hours aren't currently listed online.

The dog really needed grooming. Finally, I came across this business on Google and saw their great reviews. I called and spoke with Monica, explained the situation, and she was able to get me in within two hours. I am so grateful for her. From the moment we spoke, she was kind, caring, and incredibly helpful. When I arrived, she examined the dog's coat and clearly explained the process and services included. The prices were great--especially considering all the services included with the full grooming (bath, haircut, nail trimming, and more). I was honestly surprised at how reasonable the price was. On top of that, due to the circumstances, they even gave me a discount to help my elderly neighbor. That truly says a lot about their character and their business. They are so sweet and caring with the dogs. I highly recommend them to anyone--you won't regret it!"

They had a process, from intaking me as a customer, to filling out the proper paperwork (as a first time customer for them). When I came in they did an analysis on my dog to determine what is needed, and asked me what I would like to have happen. They did a great job on grooming my pet and make sure he smelled good at the end. They provided me recommendations on how often to come in. They gave my dog praises and a treat once he was done. They provided pictures of how the results were prior to my picking him up. They provided in detail any items to pay attention to that they noticed. Great job on being thorough and taking care of the customer. Great job on treating other customers (not just myself, but I observed how they treated others as well). If there were any downsides to mention, it would be that their prices are a little more on the premium side than what I'm used to (as my previous groomer for my dog parted ways with her employer, so I had to find a new one). What to prep for before coming here: Know when the last rabies shot is Take a look at their website to manage expectations (on what services they provide)

We were really skeptical on finding a groomer when we first adopted our shiba Kaytra. We got recommended by our friend to come here and never tried anywhere else ever since.

We've never had any problems with telling them any specific needs he may have needed during a session. Kaytra literally RUNS into their shop! We can't even get him close to the bathroom without being suspicious! What the Star dogs team has going on has is something special and anyone we have recommended to since has the same experience. Expect a 2-3hr time frame once you have dropped off your pup, which does help plan out the day, they give you a call when he is ready and is never pushy/try to rush you to come pick them up.

I made a simple request, and he yelled at me, saying, 'If you don't like it here, you can go somewhere else.' I was shocked. The woman who has always groomed my dog is polite, skilled, and has given my adorable Yorkie the perfect teddy bear cut every time. This time, her son clearly did the grooming instead. He left a noticeable mustache on her face (which has never happened before) and was smirking at me when I picked her up. The regular groomer could tell the cut was poorly done, but she did nothing to fix it. Despite the disappointing result, I still left a tip, as I always do. It's really sad to see this business showing such poor judgment in hiring. I'm taking his advice and will be taking my dog somewhere else from now on.
